You start to rely on other people in your life for intimacy
It is completely normal to have solid relationships other than your romantic one, but it is important whether or not your lover is part of your support system.
The basic foundation of a healthy relationship is talking to your partner and supporting each other, where both of you feel secure, says psychologist Kathryn Moore who is based in California. She adds that if you start noticing that you don’t feel secure or don’t feel like sharing feelings with your significant other, it is time for you to work on your relationship.
You communicate the bare minimum
Licensed psychotherapist Mayra Mendez points out that a healthy relationship revolves around healthy communication and intimacy.
No matter how small, there should be a constant effort on your part to share ideas, thoughts, and experiences on a daily basis, she suggests. You should pay attention and ask your partner about how their day went, and then tell them about yours. Even baby steps in this direction will go a long way in decluttering your relationship and opening both of you for more intimacy and healthy communication.
